Hover the mouse over the letters (individually) to see what they mean in English.
I currently have no plans to fiddle with that part. But it'd be really nice to have on occasion.
Well, it's by design that the standard Subversion status letter codes are exposed. They pack a lot of information into a small space. An English translation of a Subversion status string could be, probably worst case, something like: File Copied, Properties Modified, Locked but Lock Stolen, Out of Date.
That said, it would be nice not to have to refer to the help to understand the more complicated strings, and I intend to some kind of human-readable status. I have some Subversion status string-to- English Objective-C code; I intend to transliterate this to Ruby at some point so we can use it here. (Meanwhile, go to the command line and type 'svn help status'. Or hover your mouse as instructed above.)
